Ua loaʻa i ka mea mele ʻo Duncan Laurence mai Netherlands ke kaulana honua i 2019. Ua wānana ʻia ʻo ia i kahi mua ma ka hoʻokūkū mele honua "Eurovision".
ʻO ka wā kamaliʻi a me ka ʻōpio
Ua hānau ʻia ʻo ia ma ka ʻāina ʻo Spijkenisse. ʻO Duncan de Moore (ka inoa maoli o ka mea kaulana) ua manaʻo nui ʻia. Ua lilo ʻo ia i hoihoi i ke mele i kona wā kamaliʻi. I kona wā ʻōpiopio, ua akamai ʻo ia i nā mea kani, akā ua hauʻoli ʻo ia i ka hoʻokani piano ma mua o nā mea a pau.
He wā kamaliʻi paʻakikī kona. Ma kekahi o nā nīnauele, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia:
“Ua hoʻohenehene pinepine ʻia au ma ke kula. Ua ʻōlelo koʻu mau hoa he ʻino wau, he kāne kāne wau a pēlā aku. ʻAʻole wau i kamaʻilio me kekahi. Ua lilo ke mele i mea ola no'u."
Wahi a ka mea mele, he puʻuhonua maikaʻi ke mele mai nā manaʻo e kaomi ana ma kou poʻo. I ka wā ʻōpio, ua hoʻomohala ʻo ia i kahi paʻakikī haʻahaʻa. Ua lilo ʻo ia i mea pena kaulana, ua kipa ʻo ia i kahi psychologist.
Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e haku mele i kona wā ʻōpiopio. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Duncan, i ka wā mua, kānalua ʻo ia inā ua koho ʻo ia i ka ʻoihana kūpono nona. I ka makahiki 2019, ua ʻōlelo naʻe ʻo ia ʻaʻohe ona kānalua e hele ana ʻo ia ma ke ala pololei.
ʻO ke ala hana o ka mea pena
Ua noi koke ʻo ia no ke komo ʻana i ka papahana mele "Voice". Ua hōʻoia ʻia kāna noi. Ua komo ʻo ia i ka hui o ka mea mele ʻo Ilse De Lange. Ua hoʻokō ʻo Duncan i ka semi-finals, akā i ka hopena, ua hoʻopau ʻia ka mea mele mai ka hōʻike.
ʻOiai naʻe, ua loaʻa iā Duncan kahi pūʻali koa holoʻokoʻa. Eia kekahi, ua ʻae nā hoa hou iā ia e hoʻomohala hou iā ia iho ma ke kahua mele.
Ua loaʻa koke iā ia kāna hoʻonaʻauao mele ma ke kula pōhaku. Ke paipai nei ʻo Duncan i kona ʻike ma ke ʻano he mele, mea hana a haku mele. I loko o kēia manawa, hoʻāʻo ʻo ia i kona lima ma kekahi mau hui. I ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻike, ua "hoʻohui" ka mea mele i kāna papahana ponoʻī, i kapa ʻia ʻo The Slick and Suited. ʻO ka hōʻikeʻike o ka hui hou i mālamaʻia ma ka Noorderslag Eurosonic festival. Hana ʻia ka hanana i kēlā me kēia makahiki ma Groningen. Ua pōkole ke ala o Duncan i ka hui. Ma 2016, haʻalele ʻo ia i ka hui.
Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo Duncan i ka hana ikaika. Hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia i nā hana hoʻokahi i nā studio hoʻopaʻa leo ma Ladana a me Stockholm. I ka manawa like, ua hoʻokō ʻia ka hōʻike ʻana o ka papahana a ka mea kākau ʻo Icarus.
Ua lilo ʻo ia i mea kākau pū i nā haku mele no nā mele Dutch. Ma waena o nā papahana holomua he track no ka hui TVXQ. Me nā mea kākau ʻē aʻe, ua komo ʻo ia i ke kākau ʻana i ka Closer hoʻokahi.
I kēlā manawa, "hamu" ka discography a Duncan. Akā, he nui ka mele o ka haku mele. I ka wā i ʻike ʻia ai e lanakila ana ka mea mele iā Eurovision, ua kākoʻo nā mea pā i ka manaʻo o ke kiʻi. Ua manaʻo ʻo ia ʻo Arcade ka haku mele maikaʻi loa no ka hoʻokūkū.
Ua loaʻa i ka haku mele i kaulana i waena o nā kamaʻāina o nā ʻāina ʻEulopa. Ua ʻae ʻo Duncan ma hope ua kākau ʻo ia i ke mele i ke aʻo ʻana ma ke kula pōhaku.
Ua hana nui ʻo Ilse De-Lange i ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ke ala i ka papahana hoʻokūkū. Ua ʻōlelo ka mea hoʻokani a me ke kumu aʻoaʻo no ka papahana Voice, ua manaʻo ʻo ia ʻo Duncan he mele a haku mele hoʻohiki, no laila ua mākaukau ʻo ia e kākoʻo iā ia ma nā hana hana.
I ka wā i hōʻike ai ʻo Duncan i ke kiʻi wikiō, ua loaʻa i ka wikiō ka helu helu ʻole o ka nānā ʻana i ka lā. I loko o ke wikiō, ua ʻike ʻole ʻia ka mea mele. Wahi a Duncan, ua hōʻailona kēia i ka pale ʻole o ke kanaka ma mua o ke aloha.
ʻO ke ola pilikino o Duncan Laurence
He bisexual ʻo Duncan. Ua'ōlelo ka mea pena no ka manawa lōʻihiʻaʻole hiki iā ia keʻae i konaʻano. Ua hoʻohana nui ʻo ia i ka manawa e ʻike ai ua makemake ʻo ia i nā kāne a me nā wahine. ʻO kāna koho kūikawā kēia. ʻAʻole makemake ʻo Duncan e kamaʻilio e pili ana i kona ola pilikino, akā i kekahi o nā nīnauele, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia he kanaka ʻōpio kāna a hauʻoli ʻo ia.
I ka makahiki 2020, ua hauʻoli ʻo ia i nā mea pā me ka nūhou e male ana ʻo ia. Ua iho ʻo ia i ke ala me Joran Delivers.
ʻO Duncan Laurence i kēia manawa
ʻO ka hanana koʻikoʻi hope loa i ke ola hana o ka mea mele, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ka lanakila ma ka honua Eurovision Song Contest. He nui ka poʻe i wānana e lanakila ʻo Duncan i ka wahi mua, a ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hōʻino i ka manaʻo o ka poʻe pā.
I ka makahiki 2020, ua hauʻoli ʻo ia i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ke mele Small Town Boy, a me ka EP Worlds on Fire and Loving You is a Losing Game. Ua hoʻokipa maikaʻi ʻia nā haku mele e ka poʻe pā a me nā mea hoʻokae mele.
I ka makahiki 2021, ua hōʻike ʻia ʻo Duncan e hana pū ana me ka mea mele Spanish ʻo Blas Canto. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo Lawrence e pili nui iā Kanto. I kona manaʻo, ʻo ia kekahi o nā mele kūpono loa e hiki ke pani i kona ʻāina ma Eurovision 2021. Ua hōʻoia ʻo Canto e hoʻolālā ʻo ia e komo i ka hoʻokūkū me kekahi o nā mele a Duncan Laurence.
